They stole milk, union busted and shutdown mines leading to intergenerational poverty?
Well maybe some of them did.
Making thatched roofes?
That’s what they did, using reeds.
It seems that a reader in medieval times worked with THATCHING buildings with reeds. I reckon nowadays you have to be either quite affluent to afford this type of “eco-roofing” or not very affluent at all, depending on where you live….
That sounds like the kind of thing that would catch on in certain communities.
Thatcher! Making a roof for a house!
Yep.
